Lovely version

[Demoras]

Oh :o

Well, that was interesting ^^; I like the album version of Praise better, although this certainly also has it's charm. It's different.

But the album version of Praise really got to me. Immediately I drifted away, and I felt a lot of emotion in that piece of music. So beautiful :)

Pure listening Bliss! DS in Sanskrit, Jai Ma...Namaste!

[psychobollox]

is that Steve on electronic percussion?

[babydinosaur]

This is sung in Sanskrit, not Japanese!!! If you get the chance, listen to the original recorded version - it's infinitely more beautiful than this, sung by an Indian holy woman called Shree Maa, and much more spiritual.

[rdeckard00]

The song is called "Pratah Smarami" (Praise) and the language is Hindi, not japanese...

[05rachy]

hmmm, a bit hippy trippy. why are the subtitles necessary for a japanese audience?!

[cytuber]

Perhaps it's because he's singing in 'Engrish' and Japanese people speak Japanese. I know my theory's a bit wild, but that's my take.

[source202]

I shouldn't laugh!! I have to admit, my Japanese isn't that hot so I shouldn't have assumed it was Japanese, or if it "is" that it was even recognisable to a Japanese speaker. Think I'll go back to my NIN!!

[cytuber]

Yeah, I might join you and come back when he spiritual Bollywood bit is over. :)

Don't get me wrong, I like a bit of hippy trippy but this song is not one of my favs. (fast forward)

Good choice. maybe it's mid life crises!

[cytuber]

If it is a mid-life crisis, it'll be my third :(

Thanks for posting this concert, gerrithillebrand. Absolutely fantastic. Bravo!!!

just so long as it's not a China crises (sorry, that was rubbish, and not really relevant!)
